From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the current landscape like for gaming with KDE Wayland? I've heard that recently VSync can be disabled and that Wine has better support for Wayland nowadays.

Whats your experience like with this setup?

I would say the exact opposite if you're playing competitive FPS. Xorg tears and is super jittery like a motherfucker. Wayland is the only thing that properly drives my 240hz monitor.

Weird, everything is fine on my end, however my screen is a bit slower, at 144 Hz. For games which run below my refresh rate I use Wayland + VRR, but for games which run well above it I use X11 and disabled compositing.

Some examples on Wayland: Hunt: Showdown, Battlefield 4, Grounded, Genshin. On X11: CS:GO, Minecraft, Ultrakill
